Description
Use Gate MCP through UXC for public spot and futures market data workflows with a fixed streamable-http endpoint and read-first guardrails.
README (SKILL.md)

Gate MCP Skill

Use this skill to run Gate public market data workflows through uxc + MCP.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared MCP execution, output parsing, and generic auth guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp.

Scope

This skill covers the official Gate MCP surface for:

  • public spot market discovery
  • public spot tickers, trades, order books, and candlesticks
  • public futures contracts, tickers, trades, order books, funding, and premium data

This skill does not cover:

  • private account or trading workflows
  • Gate REST v4 signed APIs
  • wallet, funding, or portfolio actions

Endpoint

Use Gate's official MCP endpoint:

  • https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp

Core Workflow

  1. Use the fixed link command by default:
    • command -v gate-mcp-cli
    • If missing, create it: uxc link gate-mcp-cli https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp
    • gate-mcp-cli -h
  2. Inspect tool and argument help before execution:
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_spot_get_spot_tickers -h
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_spot_get_spot_order_book -h
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_fx_get_fx_tickers -h
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_fx_get_fx_order_book -h
  3. Prefer narrow spot or futures reads with explicit instrument identifiers:
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_spot_get_spot_tickers currency_pair=BTC_USDT
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_spot_get_spot_order_book currency_pair=BTC_USDT limit=20
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_fx_get_fx_tickers contract=BTC_USDT
    • gate-mcp-cli cex_fx_get_fx_funding_rate contract=BTC_USDT

Operations

Spot

  • cex_spot_list_currencies
  • cex_spot_list_currency_pairs
  • cex_spot_get_currency
  • cex_spot_get_currency_pair
  • cex_spot_get_spot_tickers
  • cex_spot_get_spot_order_book
  • cex_spot_get_spot_trades
  • cex_spot_get_spot_candlesticks

Futures

  • cex_fx_list_fx_contracts
  • cex_fx_get_fx_contract
  • cex_fx_get_fx_tickers
  • cex_fx_get_fx_order_book
  • cex_fx_get_fx_trades
  • cex_fx_get_fx_candlesticks
  • cex_fx_get_fx_funding_rate
  • cex_fx_get_fx_premium_index
  • cex_fx_list_fx_liq_orders

Guardrails

  • Keep automation on the JSON output envelope; do not use --text.
  • Parse stable fields first: ok, kind, protocol, data, error.
  • Treat this v1 skill as read-only.
  • Prefer currency_pair values like BTC_USDT for spot and contract values like BTC_USDT for futures unless help output indicates a different contract name.
  • gate-mcp-cli \x3Coperation> ... is equivalent to uxc https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp \x3Coperation> ....

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and read-only, but check the following before installing: (1) ensure you trust and review the external 'uxc' tool the skill depends on — the skill requires `uxc` in PATH; (2) the repo's validation script expects the `rg` (ripgrep) utility for local checks — that's a development-time detail, not runtime; (3) confirm the `uxc link gate-mcp-cli https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp` command resolves to the official Gate MCP endpoint before running it (avoid redirected or spoofed links); (4) because the skill source and homepage are not provided, prefer installing only if you trust the skill publisher or after reviewing the upstream `uxc` implementation and Gate MCP docs. If you need greater assurance, ask the publisher for a homepage or source repo and a checksum/verification for any binaries you install.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gate-mcp-skill Version: 1.0.0 The gate-mcp-skill bundle provides a structured interface for accessing public cryptocurrency market data from Gate.io via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It includes explicit read-only guardrails in SKILL.md, a comprehensive validation script (scripts/validate.sh) to enforce safety patterns, and clear usage examples in references/usage-patterns.md. The skill uses a legitimate endpoint (https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp) and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
ℹ Purpose & Capability
The skill's declared purpose (public Gate MCP market data via uxc) matches the instructions and included files. Minor mismatch: registry metadata lists no required binaries, but SKILL.md correctly states that `uxc` must be installed and available in PATH — the skill will not work without that dependency. This is likely an omission in the metadata rather than malicious behavior.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only to link and call the fixed MCP endpoint via `uxc`/`gate-mcp-cli`, to prefer help-first discovery, and to remain read-only. It does not instruct reading local secrets, arbitrary files, or sending data to unexpected endpoints; network I/O is limited to the documented Gate MCP endpoint and cited documentation links.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec is present (instruction-only), so nothing is written or downloaded by the skill itself. This is the lowest-risk model and is coherent with the skill's purpose.
✓ Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The instructions explicitly avoid private/trading workflows and do not ask for API keys; this is proportionate for a public read-only market-data skill.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked 'always' and does not request elevated persistence or modification of other skills or system-wide settings. The included validation script is self-contained and used only for local checks.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install gate-mcp-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /gate-mcp-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
